This is one of several teas I've ordered from Amazon recently, throwing them into an order to get over the free shipping threshold. It is also the first tea I've ever tried from Chota Tingrai estate, although I've tried a number of other teas from other gardens in the Tinsukia region. I was pleasantly surprised by this...

Assam - Itakhooli Estate from Simpson & Vail

Aroma is not too strong but it does smell nice and interesting too! It actually has notes of raspberry in the aroma and taste and it’s rly unique and good! Otherwise it just tastes like a very classic assam tea, there is no objectionable astringentness or bitterness.

This was a rather strong, but high-quality Assam sold for an exceptionally good price.
The dry leaf has a potent aroma, spicy and fruity. I already notice the raspberry notes even in the dry leaf. But the aroma somehow betrays a slight harshness: I can tell this is going to be a tea with a bit of an edge, even befor...

One-litre pot at home, made from very wired, curly, longish dark brown leaves of Assam. Pours clear dark copper brown (against white china). Clear aroma of Assam leaves, with pronounced malty notes. Delicate, bitterish flavour of black tea leaves, with notes of malt and spicy touches. Mildly astringent palate with malt...

Assam Nokhroy Estate Black Tea (STGSOP1) from Simpson & Vail

Apr. 28th, 2019
It was a bit of challenge to describe the aroma. I finally decided on 'sweet pine'. There is a 'wood' aroma with a definite 'sweet' under tone. The liquor is a deep amber color, malty. I'm not catching any 'peppery' after taste. A decent Assam. Good price for a good tea.

A fairly typical Assam of slightly-above-average quality. This was one of four teas we tried on our recent visit to Socra Tea Detroit, a great cafe and tea shop that I recommend checking out if you're in the area.
I've now tried three teas from Tonganagaon estate, a tea garden in upper Assam that seems to produce sm...
Assam - Beesakopie Black Tea from Simpson & Vail

The aroma has a slight earthy with hint of chocolate smell. Taste is clean without a strong after taste, slight hint of honey, smooth and mild. Nice amber color. I made it 'strong' with heaping teaspoons and 5 minute steep. This will be easy to drink all day. I never use milk or sugar.

The flavor of this tea reminded me of something from my first sip, but what eluded me for quite a while. It wasn't until I actually sat down and read the official description that I finally figured out what it was. The Mana Organics website indicates that it is "a blend of malt and sweet." This description couldn't be ...

This was a wonderfully smooth-flavored Assam, yet with good strength and complexity, and a great price. Thank you to Simpson & Vail for this sample!
Dry leaf, which is fine, curly, and has a moderate amount of golden tip, has an interesting aroma, initially there's a slight burned quality, suggestive of candle wax, ...

I like this full-bodied tea, with its earthy, almost oakey aroma, for breakfast on cold mornings. If you like good, robust Assams, this is a great choice for you.

A soft tea that was less interesting than most of the other black teas TEAORB has sent me, but still very pleasant to drink. Reminds me a lot of hot chocolate; something I'd drink later in the afternoon.
The dry leaf of this tea is very dark, thick, and wiry, and noticeably more broken than many of the other large-...
Assam Tonganagaon, Organic from Simpson & Vail
Style: Assam – Region: Tinsukia, Assam, India82 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 2nd, 2017
A smoother-than-average Assam that was still quite rich, a little on the tangy/fruity side.
Dry leaf smells very fruity, vegetal, a bit like potpourri, and also somewhat malty. Overall, rich, aromatic, and suggesting sweetness.
Surprisingly subdued for an Assam. The cup is light and a little more tangy than I e...

A fruitier, tangier Assam that was an interesting change of pace. Not quite as hearty or satisfying as some, but enjoyable.
The dry leaf of this has a rich aroma that reminds me of my mom and grandma making black currant and raspberry jam in late summer. There are also malty notes, but the cooked fruit / jam aroma...

Dark brown liquor. Mild flavor and aroma. A bit "anemic" for my taste. I never use milk or sugar, I think this tea would be overwhelmed by either.

The dry leaf had an appealing smell, but this tea failed to impress me.
Flavor is rather savory, quite sour, and barely bitter at all. I prefer bitter to sour flavors in my tea. Aroma is muddled: slightly smoky, slightly malty, slightly herbaceous. Slightly peppery like some Yunnan teas and with some vegetal qual...
